Serono Symposia International Foundation (SSIF) has launched an entirely new web site dedicated to health care professionals. The first version of the SSIF web site was launched in 2000, and ever since has provided its users with live information on its educational events for e-learning scientific initiatives.

"The new website has a brand new and up-to-date visual design, besides a completely renewed structure providing advanced features and functionality - said Michèle Piraux as the Secretary to the Board of Directors of SSIF - and it allows to deliver more online educational activities as video lectures, podcasts, RSS feeds and new, interactive online learning features. Navigation in the new website has been simplified - Michèle Piraux added - so for both, the already registered and future users, to be able to access valuable support material for their learning in an intuitive and fast way."

Furthermore, the new website features a variety of new sections each structured as a microsite entirely focused on a specific area of interest: reproductive medicine, neurology, oncology, endocrinology, cardiology, immunology, dermatology, where SSIF currently provides educational activities. This in order to provide a unique service to healthcare professionals and to ensure that users are able to find exactly the information they are looking for related to the area of interest.

The website remains the first point of contact for all healthcare professionals who are seeking continuing medical education through live events, but it also provides additional online resources including video lectures and podcasts from live events, follow-up activities to extend the SSIF teaching courses and to support special-interest groups such as multiple sclerosis nurses, specially developed online courses, and enhanced materials such as post-meeting highlights.
